*-Tony Romo has been limited in practices this week as he
deals with his cracked rib injury. He'll start week 4 without issue though.

*-Michael Vick practiced in full today and will start week 4
against San Francisco. He will have to wear a special glove on his right hand
though for the game.

Running Backs

*-Ryan Mathews missed practice today because of a foot
injury. Mathews was on his way to taking on the primary role over Mike Tolbert
but this could open the door for it to become an even split situation, limiting
the fantasy upside of Mathews. He is expected to be fine for week 4, but look
for a more even split between him and Tolbert.

*-Frank Gore was limited in practice again today and it's
likely he'll be listed as Questionable on tomorrow's injury report and
considered a game time decision. I'd be looking to sit Gore this week as even
if he does play he's likely to be limited and split a lot more time than normal
with Kendall Hunter. If Gore doesn't play, Hunter becomes a solid RB3 and/or
flex option against an Eagles defense that has been fantasy friendly to
opposing RB's.

*-Ryan Grant missed practice today with his kidney bruise
and I expect he'll be Questionable on the injury report and considered a game
time decision. I'd stay away from Grant entirely this week even if he plays as
he'd likely be limited and playing behind James Starks. Starks is a solid RB2
this week with great upside to be even more valuable if Grant doesn't play.

*-Adrian Peterson was limited in practice today again with
his calf muscle strain. But he's fully expected to start week 4 without issue.
AP is probably the top RB play this week against a really bad Kansas City run
defense.

*-Beanie Wells was limited in practice again today with his
hamstring injury. Unless he practices in full tomorrow I'd bet he'll be listed
as Questionable and considered a game time decision. Wells insists he'll be
fine to play this week but we heard the exact same rhetoric last week and then
on game day Wells was declared inactive. Until he practices in full, or gets
thru a game without aggravating it, I'd be wary of counting on Wells in fantasy
starting lineups. If Wells is limited at all in the game this week or is made
inactive, at least the Cardinals will have LaRod Stephens-Howling back this
week to provide some spark and hope for their running game But I don't think
I'd rush out and grab him as he isn't built for a big workload.

*-Steven Jackson practiced again today. Although his
participation is listed as limited, he is fully expected to start and carry
close to a full normal workload. The worst of his quad injury appears to be
behind him.

*-Both Felix Jones and Knowshon Moreno were full
participants in practice today and both will play week 4. Jones can be
considered as a possible fantasy play this week depending on who else you have
on your rosters; Moreno should be firmly planted on the bench between his time
share with Willis McGahee and his matchup against a Green Bay run defense giving
up an average of 7.5 fantasy points per game on the ground to opponents.

Wide Receivers

*-Hakeem Nicks was held out of practice today because of
swelling in the knee he injured back in week 1. If the swelling doesn't go down
by Saturday, I'd be worried about his chances of both playing, and being able
to produce if he does play this week. Nicks says he'll be fine though and for
now I'm taking his word on that.

*-While Roddy White was held out of practice today it's
standard procedure for the Falcons to hold out the star WR from practices until
Friday whenever he's get a boo-boo. He has a thigh issue but he is fully
expected to start this week and you can do so with confidence.

*-Vincent Jackson missed a second day of practice with an
abdominal strain. It's not believed to be serious though and he should be able
to practice tomorrow and play this week. I expect he'll be fine for the game
and that the Chargers are just being extra careful with their playmaking WR
with Antonio Gates sounding unlikely to play.

*-Jackson's teammate Malcom Floyd was unable to practice
today too because of his groin injury. No telling if he'll play this week or
not, and I'd be hesitant to recommend him over other quality options if you
have them.

*-Marques Colston was limited in practice again today and
while it looks like he'll play this week, I still have my doubts. And even if
he does play, I wouldn't be starting him as he very likely would be limited at
best. This seems awfully strange to be forcing him back so quickly from a
broken collarbone.

*-Dez Bryant didn't
practice today as the Cowboys are resting the WR so he can be as healthy as
possible for this week. He is expected to start week 4 without issue, but may
be limited some as he is pushing thru his quad injury because Miles Austin
won't play and the other Cowboys WR's looked sad last week.

*-Jeremy Maclin was able to practice some today, but he
still seems like a long shot to play this week with his hamstring injury. Even
if he is active, I'd rather find another option as I expect he'd be limited in
playing time and in how effective he'd be.

*-Earl Bennett is not expected this week because of his
chest injury. Word is he could miss a couple more games. If Dane Sanzenbacher
can continue to be at least reliable replacing Bennett as the #3 WR in Chicago,
it's likely Bennett will have no fantasy value.

*-Mario Manningham was limited in practice. There's been no
official word that he's a full go for this week after missing last week with a
concussion but all signs point to him being able to resume his place in the
starting lineup.

*-After missing practice again today it's pretty much a sure
thing Lee Evans will sit out week 4 and that Torrey Smith will start again in
his place.

*-Plaxico Burress missed some practice today with a minor
hamstring issue but he's fully expected to be fine to start this week.

Tight Ends

*-Antonio Gates didn't practice today and it's near certain
he won't play this week. Look for Randy McMichael to draw the start in his
place. McMichael isn't nearly the talent as Gates, nor even nearly as good as
he used to be years ago, but he at least is serviceable if you're desperate and
the available TE's on your free agent wire lack upside.

*-Jermichael Finley continues to be limited in practices
because of his ankle injury. But it's not major and he'll be fine to start this
week.
